More than it seems, I would guess. Just shipping would be negligable.
However, there would be more costs - the production time lost to remove a mold
from a molder, and again to re-install it; the lost throughput by taking down
a machine to install the mold at Enfield; the time & manpower and money to
reconfigure the factory because the machine now being used for geefmuts was
part of the 'purple bucket assembly line'; etc. etc. etc.
By far cheaper to simply make the parts where the factory is, and ship the
parts wherever they need to go. Mohammad is more mobile than the mountain.
